Had a similar programme on my PC but NetShred for Mac seems really good. Clears the memory automatically on exit … Amazing the amount of space that simple browsing takes up on your HD. Anyway, recommended.

Thank you very much for your fast reply and customer-friendly handling of my problem!

One basic privacy measure, however, is easily overlooked: proper data destruction….ShredIt, is available in versions for both Windows and Macintosh computers from Mireth Technology ($19.95 for downloaded versions at http://www.mireth.com). The program’s overwrite methods include user-defined options with up to 35 passes. Another useful feature, in the Macintosh version, is the option to overwrite rewritable CD’s. [Read More]

I purchased a copy of ShredIt X, and I have really enjoyed it. As with any power tool, you have to be careful with it, but as far as I can tell it does what it is supposed to do.

No prizes for guessing this’s my favorite VCD player. While QuickTime player is free, it uses twice the RAM of MacVCD, opens sluggishly [sic] and doesn’t do half the VCD stuff MacVCD does. MacVCD is an elegant and mature product which will play MPEG-1 better than QuickTime Player…

[MacVCD] Just a quick note to acknowledge your wonderful VCD player. I spent the better part of the day downloading trial versions of various players from ZDnet in attempt to play a disk full of (apparently PC) VCD’s that I bought on eBay, and none would do the job until I found and tested yours; needless to say, I found myself pulling out the Visa card five minutes later. Always nice to find a program that actually does what it’s designed to do; looking forward to trying out some of your other …

[mirethMusic] Hello I have just got this to convert my I tunes Music to MP3 to I can plug it into my Car Stereo system. Fantastic … I had my library converting (10 meg of music) in under 30 min. It took a while for them to convert but I just left it to it. Thanks for a good and easy to use product.

I wanted to be able to transform audio cds to mp3 files automatically, and I wanted to have control over the quality of the my mp3 via the bitrate. Music man (mirethMusic) did this very well, and very easily.

How to Convert AVI, Divx, Xvid to MPEG, DVD, VCD, SVCD on Mac

iVCD can be used as an MPEG encoder to convert AVI to MPEG. It can encode as

MPEG-1 (VCD profile, or generic profile),

MPEG-2 (SVCD profile, DVD profile or generic profile).

Requirements

iVCD

source movie(s) in AVI, Divx or Xvid format

to convert from AVI, Divx or Xvid, download and install the required component (see Requirements)

Instructions

If you haven’t already done so, download and install the required component.

Create a new project folder or open an existing one.
Storing your movie and it’s settings in a project folder makes it easy to save your information so you can pick up where you left off, instead of having to finish your project in one sitting, which is often difficult to do at first. It also makes it easy to create more copies of a DVD once you have perfected your project.

To open an existing project,

select “Select Project” and navigate to an existing project.

To Create a New project,

From the Project Folder Dialog, select “Create Project”.

Name the new project folder. (we suggest the folder name end with MPEG). The project will be configured using the default settings. (To change the default settings, use the Preferences panel.)

Modify the settings according to the type of MPEG you want to convert to.

MPEG -1 (VCD profile):

Change “Media Type” to “Video CD”

MPEG -2 (SVCD profile):

Change “Media Type” to “Super Video CD”

MPEG -2 (DVD profile):

Change “Media Type” to “DVD”

Generic MPEG -1:

Change “Media Type” to “Video CD”

Generic MPEG -2 :

Change “Media Type” to “Super Video CD”

Drag in your source movie files to the movie list. (Ignore the Green/Amber/Red indicator bar at the top of the iVCD screen. It is used when burning a disc.)

To delete a movie/playlist from the Movie List

Click the “Movies” tab

Single-click the movie/playlist to select it

Click the “Delete” button

To add a movie,

Drag it to the Movies List

Using the Finder, find a movie and single-click it to select it

Click the “Movies” tab

Click the “Convert to MPEG” button.

Because converting to MPEG takes a long time, (at least four times as long as the movie length and even longer on slower machines), we suggest you run this job overnight.

Once the “Convert to MPEG” process has completed successfully, the “Convert to MPEG” dialog will disappear.

Otherwise, choose “NTSC” (North America, Japan).
